EDUCATION IN FRANCE
Universities Concerned Primarily
With Intellectual Development
FB�S REMARKABLY SMALL
Ideals of IitLLkcr education in France
i> were discussed by Monfieur Julien Cham-
penois at a lecture Friday night under the
auspices of the French Club.
That education should deal strictly with
academic matters; that universities develop
according to , their geographical position;
that they be open to everyone, and em-
phasize, not the quantity of a student's
knowledge, but his power of selection and
discrimination, are, according to Mon-
sieur Champenois, the ideals of French
universities.
"The whole regime of French letters,"
said Monsieur Champenois, "was altered in
1020, and their principles reasserted. The
universities are particularly interested in
training the minds of their students. The
training of character they leave to a
greater force, that of public opinion."
There is in France, he explained, only one
university supported by . the state. This
University of France is subdivided into
seventy smaller universities, each indepen-
dent of the other. These seek to develop
along thejr own lines and to become the
center of the province where they are
situated.
"The social class providing the best in-
tellectual workers are the Petits-gens, ac-
cording to French belief. To enable any of
these to go to college, higher education is
free. Fees practically do not exist and
there are regular courses open to the
public"
The assertion that man's superiority lies
on his reasoning power is the fundamental
principle of French education. The pur-
pose of universities is not to impart knowl-
� edge, but to show how it should be handled.

praised 1922's Indian club drill. "I have

the parallel bars were also hard and well

more swinging."

STUDENTS TO TEACH ATHLETICS IN
SUMMER 8CHOOL
The Joint Administrative Committee has
decided to have four Bryn Mawr students
as recreation* assistants in the Summer
School this year.
Each will be here for a month to help
in any recreation, such as baseball, basket-
ball, swimming and playground games, and
will receive a salary of $25. To fully un-
derstand the spirit of the Summer School,
and come in closer touch with the summer
students themselves, the assistants will
probably attend one or two courses.
The Summer School Committee is anx-
ious that all undergraduates interested in
doing the work will apply at once to H.
Jennings, Pembroke-East. Names handed
in are: P. Smith, '22; D. Dessau, "22;
H. Price, "23; I. Gates, '23; E. Hale, '24;

RELIEF IN INDUSTRY SUBJECT
REV. JOHN MCDOWELL'S SERMON
This is essentially an industrial age, ac-
cording to Cite Rev. John McDowell,, for-
mer minister of the Brown Memorial
Church, who spoke in chapel on Sunday
night.
"Industry dominates government, educa-
tion and religion, and as industry goes so
the age will go. Ideals in industry, as in
everything else, are the dominant factor.
There are three ideals at work in the
world at present, the materialistic one,
which is 'the philosophy of dirt,; the com-
mercial, which treats everything in terms
of money, and the spiritual pne. The issue
is whether industry shall be built on the
spiritual, the Christian ideal, and it seems
that no one can think .otherwise."
"Some things must be done at once," Dr.
McDowell said. "We must establish the
right of Jesus Christ to a place in industry
and teach industry His mind. It must real-
ize Christ's conception of the products of
industry, their production, and their distri-
bution, and it must adopt the custom of
settling disputes on the basis of brother-
hood and legislation. Most important of
all, the Christian .test of 'what is its effect
on the man' must be applied to industry."
Dr. McDowell said that the four gravest
industrial problems were�greater produc-
tion, greater equality of distribution,
greater participation in the management
and more satisfactory work. "We can ac-
complish none of these without good will
and we can get good will only through the
spirit of, Christ."

HELEN RICE NEXT YEAR
Helen Rice, '23, has been elected .Varsity
hockey captain for next year. Miss Rice
has played on Varsity for two years.
. Miss4, Rice was president of her class
Sopohomore year, and has been secretary
of the Athletic Association and first Junior
member of the Board. Freshman year she
held the College championship in tennis.
Five Freshmen remain in the Edi-
torial Competition for the third week
of try-outs. They are: M. Constant,
H. Hough, E. Smith, K. Starr, E.

The National Student Forum, a new or-
ganization of American 'students, for the
purpose of open-minded inquiry into prob-
lems of the day, has at last been called
into existence. A constitution was drawn
up last Sunday by the Executive Commit-
tees of the Intercollegiate Liberal League
and the National Student Forum Commit-
tee for "the � Limitation of Armaments,
meeting jointly in New York. jT Burges,
'22, and E. Vincent, '23, attended this
meeting.
In explanation of the National Student
Forum's purpose and ideal the preamble to
the constitution reads in part, "the students
of America devote themselves through this
organization, hot to the protecting of par-
ticular institutions, nor to the furthering
of particular reforms, but rather to the
fostering of a scientific spirit in social re-
lations�a spirit which shall always be seek-
ing the future in a critical survey of social
phenomena and f^ograms, whether old and
tried or new and untried." . . . "the
one practical issue ftpon which the mem-
bers of the organization are united is the
maintaining of a complete intellectual free-
dom in the cdlleges and universities of
America."
The National Student Forum has a
double origin. It grows out of the Lilteral
League, which was formed at an intercol-
legiate conference at Cambridge, Mass., last
spring, for the purpose of creating an in-
telligent interest in the problems of the
day among college me^i and women;
through complete freedom of assembly and
discussion in the colleges; and the National
Student Committee for the Limitation of
Armaments, formed last autumn, to draw
student attention to the Washington Con-
ference. The Liberal League has a mem-
bership of ab. mi 700; the National Student
Committee has representatives in 230 col-
leges and universities. ______;_____
To Print Intercollegiate Bulletin
Plans for the coming year, drawn up at
the meeting on Sunday, will be carried
out as soon as the constitution has been
approved by the membership. These in-
clude the publication of an intercollegiate
bulletin, which will, according to John
Rothschild, executive secretary, afford an
organ for the exchange of student opinion
on academic, political and social matters,
as well as of intercollegiate news. This
paper will appear^wice a month, and be
distributed without extra, charge to mem-
bers of the Forum.
A student conference in May is a further
item on the Forum's calendar. A speak-
ers' bureau and a press service for obtain-
ing authoritative articles for the college
press will be another means of service at
the disposal of the Forufn. In addition
the central office will serve as an informa-
tion bureau on collegiate affairs, as a head-
quarters of the student movement in Amer-
ica, and as a point of contact with the
student movements of other countries.
Budget of $17,000 Adopted
In order to finance the bulletin, and to
conduct its office, a budget of $17,000 was
voted as necessary for the coming year.
This money will be raised partly through
membership subscriptions, but largely by
private gifts. John Rothschild, as execu-
tive secretary of the Forum, will visit
about fifty colleges* east of Chicago before
commencement, with the purpose of arous-
